Looking across Jermyn Street towards St James, Piccadilly
Round about Piccadilly

Being a circular walk, starting and finishing at Eros. Starting at Glasshouse Street, up to Regent Street, past a Bowie shrine and along to Savile Row. Passing some Boris Bikes, across Hanover Square I found my way through to Oxford Street. One or two detours and then Park Lane. Heading south again down Orchard Street and zig-zagging to Grosvenor Square I then made for Farm Street. There were no nightingales in Berkeley Square and I was soon in Jermyn Street: no need to get shirty, past St James's and back to Eros!

Church of St James, Piccadilly

St James's Church, Piccadilly, also known as St James's Church, Westminster and as St James-in-the-Fields, is an Anglican church on Piccadilly. It was designed and built by Sir Christopher Wren.
The church is built of red brick with Portland stone dressings. The church’s interior has galleries on three sides supported by square pillars, and the nave has a barrel vault supported by Corinthian columns. The carved marble font and limewood reredos are both notable examples of the work of Grinling Gibbons.
